You bet I take good care of them, I just built a new pen to hold my traders. I have a good supply of hay, feed, salt mix and all the good medicines. Everything I buy and turn leaves in better shape than when I bought it.kenny thomas":vdb20ayx said:ibetyamissedme":vdb20ayx said:Jockeys
Sure we are and neither of us try to hide it. But we do take very good care of them in the short time we own them.
I agree about the "jockey" deal, we've been all over and around that subject recently, but the fact is if it weren't for us some sales would go out of business, because they would have no market at all.BC":2dslv1s0 said:W-D 40 and a curry comb. Take your time and don't yank tag. Let the W-D 40 break the glue down.
As to the statement about "jockeys", best I can tell the man who bought the cattle to trade on was the last one with his hand in the air.
No your right, some folks here think it's a a sin or a fedarel crime to buy and re sell cattle in a short period of time. They think it gives the cattle some kind of horrible disease :roll:MWilliams":3lex7pyh said:I thought the idea of buying, selling and raising cattle was to make money? If not my plans are all wrong.

Excellent points Kenny, if people want something to gripe about and use to put others down, they will always find something. Seems none if them see were taking as much risk as anyone by buying and holding them for possibly making a small profit.kenny thomas":367hgh8d said:ibetyamissedme":367hgh8d said:Jockey is one step above the paper trader, they have no interest in the quality of the product they are trading or the final price the commodity brings, they're only interested in the money they make in between buying and selling the product.

Well I have thought I would not argue with you so I will try not to. How many days do I have to keep an animal before it is not a trade. Sometimes I keep them a week, a month, or until I feel the market is right to resell them. Sometimes it is the next day. Are you a trader if you sell anything before it is slaughter ready?
Kenny jockeys have no concern about quality of cattle they are buying and selling, they only care about making a profit above what they paid. If jockeys are not ashamed of what they are doing, they need not worry about tag removal, sell it for what it is a salebarn return.kenny thomas":1woez6la said:Well I have thought I would not argue with you so I will try not to.
